Hunk4TH Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Could someone confirm me that it is not only me. That new taskbar blur feature in Win10 seems really unoptimized - moving the window beneath the taskbar is a bit jerky and dwm.exe CPU usage goes high.No problem here either. Running build 10130 x64 pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Is there a working more transparent-like theme for build 10130?Noels theme is nice but it interferes with my color selections a bit. Try the "No Color" one I posted here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170233-aero-glass-themeatlas/page-8#entry1099384 -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CPU stays under 10% een when I move a window beneath the taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Interesting, it must be some VMWare driver problem then. It happens even when Aero Glass is not running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelter Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I get these issues too, sometimes a border around taskbar "thumbnail" windows. And a white border around steam and photoshop, probably a theme thimg but i never had themes interfering in Win8.1. Running on build 10130 with Noels theme.

NoelC Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Interesting, it must be some VMWare driver problem then. It happens even when Aero Glass is not running. Not seeing the sluggishness here in VMware 11. Many of the display driver calls are passed through to the host from VMware... What GPU do you have on your host? I have an ATI 7850 card. Also, did you get the VMware 11.1.2 update, released this past weekend? Did you install the updated VMware Tools? -Noel Edited June 25, 2015 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running on build 10130 with Noels theme. That's intentional (and unrelated to the taskbar thumbnail border thing). The white line is because I co-opted the drop shadow resources to restore a border around windows that makes them easier to see on a dark background. I regard that as a feature, not a bug. But I realize the same look and feel are not for everyone. And it's not a "theme" thing, per se, but a "theme atlas" thing (the latter being just a replacement of SOME of the graphic resources that go into compositing your desktop). The theme atlas is just one small part of an overall theme change. Trouble is, right now full theme support for the latest versions of Win 10 is lacking - people simply haven't had enough time to figure out Win 10's reorganizations and reimplementations yet and develop a decent replacement theme that goes all the way inside applications and does things like make the controls easier to see/use. The theme atlas, the replacement of which is facilitated by Big Muscle's Aero Glass GUI application, pretty much just skins the outside edges of windows (including the title bar caption buttons). -Noel Edited June 25, 2015 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelter Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Yes. maybe I used the wrong definition, but i think of theme atlases as Aero Glass themes. I didn't mean "Windows theme".But thanks for clarifying everything. Btw, here's that bug I mentioned a few posts up, drag a window to the corner and this happens: Edited June 25, 2015 by shelter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusticles Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) blur effect radius is causing artifacts in start menu, taskbar and other natively blurred areas when its value is bigger than 0.

shelter Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) shelter: now try it without Aero Glass Oh... it's just the white border in joels theme atlas that makes it more apparent. Hmmm wonder if it's a bug on microsofts side or if it's intentional.I'll report it to msft. (DONE) Btw, you can disable snapping if you don't want to see it, just open the settings app and search for snap.I never use snapping myself.
